Title: Weather sucks here at Saratoga.
Post by: dougie on June 07, 2025, 11:39:09 AM: All the years of going to the races, I've never been a big fan of rain. Just kind of dreary and rainy here at "The Spa". Most people inside keeping dry. Some people who didn't bring rain slickers are soaked. Track looks like soup. I just hit the 2nd race with a 1st time starter for Bill Mott. I'm hoping the weather "breaks" alittle the track dries out a little. Off the turf for the 3rd race.

Post by: dougie on June 07, 2025, 12:00:40 PM: Thanks. I think the crowd is smaller than track officials had hoped. Still people coming in. Two stakes races cancelled until Sunday. I'm taking a flyer on #1 with Dylan Davis who had a big day yesterday. Lots of scratches on card.

Post by: dougie on June 07, 2025, 01:12:53 PM: Thanks! I was never a big winner with Linda Rice horses. I skipped the 4th. I figured the chalk would win. You gotta bet here early so I just put $10Win $40Place on Bill Mott's #8. I've hit both the races I played so far. Going for the "Hat Trick". LOL!

Post by: dougie on June 07, 2025, 03:16:56 PM: No rain now and i'm taking a shot in Race 7 on the #2 Crazy Mason. Crowd has really bulked up as place filled when the rain stopped. I'm making a wild bet with 10WP #2 and $80Show. I'm up $580 so far today and figure "Why not?" LOL!

Lucky to get 3rd after not breaking from the gate.

Title: Re: Weather sucks here at Saratoga.
Post by: dougie on June 07, 2025, 04:01:31 PM: Up over $600 and i'm making a small bet on speedster #5 Raging Torrentin the 8th. I've actually never been a big fan of Franki Dettori, but I hope he can get the lead and wire the field. I do not think this horse is in that same class as #1Fierceness or #2 White Abarrio, but i'm hoping he can upset the apple cart. $10Win 40Place On #5 in the 8th!

Post by: darnoldrocks on June 07, 2025, 09:30:56 PM: If you were watching the Belmont horses walking to the track, you wouldn't have bet anyone except Sovereignty. I've never seen a horse look sharper. It was like he knew the race was over before it even started!!!
